| Stearman PT-17 N2S Yellow Peril |
The PT-17 N2S Stearman was designed by Lloyd Stearman at the Boeing plant in Wichita, KA. Stearman developed the N2S Yellow Peril in 1935, and produced different models until February 4, 1941. The aircraft was nicknamed the "Yellow Peril". Yellow because of the bold yellow navy paint scheme and peril because of its tricky ground handling characteristics.
The PT-17 N2S was a unique and typical, all metal frame construction aircraft used by the biplane primary trainers as a trainer aircraft during the World War II. Over 10,000 Yellow Perils were authorized and used as primary military trainers during World War II. Several versions of the aircraft were also delivered to England, China, Peru and Venezuela.
After the World War II, numerous Yellow Perils were redesigned and converted to be used as crop dusters. Some were also used to fly aerobatic demonstrations at air shows and flying circuses. The PT-17 N2S “Yellow Peril” is still very popular until today, and over a thousand are still flying.
